Upgrading IQ modules
The IQ module Flash upgrade feature allows appliance administrators to update IQ modules
with the latest firmware available. This update can be performed using the MergePoint Unity
switch user interfaces or DSView 3 software.
After the Flash memory is reprogrammed with the upgrade, the MergePoint Unity switch
performs a soft reset, which terminates all IQ module sessions. A target device experiencing an
IQ module firmware update may not display, or may display as disconnected. The target device
will appear normally when the Flash update is completed.
IQ modules are automatically updated when the MergePoint Unity switch is updated. To
update your MergePoint Unity switch firmware, see MergePoint Unity Switch Appliance Tools
on page 24 or the DSView 3 Software Online Help. If issues occur during the normal upgrade
process, IQ modules may also be force upgraded when needed.
NOTE: Check www.avocent.com for firmware upgrade files.
To upgrade the IQ module firmware:
1. From the side navigation bar, click Unit View - Appliance - Appliance Settings - Ports - IQ
Modules to open the Appliance IQ Modules screen.
2. Select the checkbox(es) next to the IQ module(s) that you wish to upgrade and click
Upgrade.
CAUTION: Disconnecting an IQ module during a firmware update or cycling power to the target device will render
the module inoperable and require the IQ module to be returned to the factory for repair.
